  • 20 ml hot water
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 3.5 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1.5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 pinch salt

Steps

  1. Whisk the tea powder into the hot water in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.

  2. Stir in the milk and oil, then microwave 30 seconds.

  3. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mug with a fork.

  4. Pour the warm tea mixture in and stir until smooth, scraping the bottom of the mug.

  5. Microwave 1 minute 15 to 1 minute 30, then rest 1 minute.

Good to know

  • Scrape the bottom when mixing. Dry flour hiding there is the single most common failure.
  • Stop the moment it domes over the rim. Seconds matter with mug cakes.
  • Use a mug much bigger than you think you need.
